Famous quotes containing the words technical and/or group:

    “A technical objection is the first refuge of a scoundrel.”
    —Heywood Broun (1888–1939)

    “It’s important to remember that feminism is no longer a group of organizations or leaders. It’s the expectations that parents have for their daughters, and their sons, too. It’s the way we talk about and treat one another. It’s who makes the money and who makes the compromises and who makes the dinner. It’s a state of mind. It’s the way we live now.”
    —Anna Quindlen (20th century)
